Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Volkswagen Arena!
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FSV Mainz 05 needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' 1. FSV Mainz 05 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jean-Paul Boetius suffering a number of foals already.
  • 21' Goal! Josip Brekalo scores his 29 goal in 471 matches.
  • 26' The energy levels are beginning to show. Oliver Glasner might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 31' Leandro Barreiro Martins has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 31.
  • 36' It’s high time Oliver Glasner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 41' With 0 assists to his name this season, Paulo Otavio is clearly more than just a goal scorer for 1. FSV Mainz 05.
  • 45' The Switzerland Renato Steffen breaks the deadlock on 45 minutes. 2-0!
  • 46' It is a substitution in 1. FSV Mainz 05 team. Leandro Barreiro Martins is replaced by Jean-Paul Boetius on 46 minute.
  • 49' GOAL! Yannick Gerhardt fires home to make it 3-0!
  • 54' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FSV Mainz 05 that had 436 games and scored 398 goals.
  • 59' Supporters expect more eagerness from Levin Oztunali, as he is very good at scoring at Volkswagen Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 62' A tactical swap from 1. FSV Mainz 05 — Karim Onisiwo on, Daniel Brosinski off on 62 minutes.
  • 65' 1. FSV Mainz 05 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 67' 1. FSV Mainz 05 make a change. Levin Oztunali trudges off to be replaced by Jean-Philippe Mateta on 67 minutes.
  • 68' Renato Steffen doubles the advantage! 4-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 71' Joao Victor has so much to prove this time. He replaces Renato Steffen on 71 minute.
  • 74' Admir Mehmedi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daniel Ginczek on 74 minute.
  • 79' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 82' The whistle greets Josip Brekalo as he departs to be replaced by Mamoudou Karamoko.
  • 87' The travelling 1. FSV Mainz 05 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-0.
